Re: Old Taper's Sections on Dead.net |
In my haste of excitement I failed to realize how much was missing but when I went to the last page and saw the first one, I simply assumed. Thank you for the links however!
In reference to your other post I agree with your displeasure on the limited nature of the newer releases and, aside from the download series, I am incredibly surprised they have not capitalized and taken advantage of the digital format for any and all releases. I imagine cost and time has a lot to do with why they have not done something. But if they are not digitizing aging reels, whether they are in a temperature controlled vault or not, they are making a mistake. I'm sure there are other legal reasons too but at the very least, if they were to release digital formats of what they already have released as well as future releases, couldn't they set up some sort of secured torrent site where you can purchase the release and then allow the community to share what they bought from others to save on server costs? Not sure if that is possible but with a sharing community like Dead fans are, I think this would be an interesting experiment to see how it would work. I'm sure some would find a way to abuse it but you can't let a few rotten apples ruin the whole bunch.
